HOST Public Institution Plitvicka jezera National Park EVENT Meet your National park and be a ranger for a day - In the year of great jubilees for Plitvicka jezera National park (65 years of protection and 35 years on the UNESCO List of World Natural and Cultural Heritage) and for the promotion of European Day of Parks, employees of Department for the ecology of water and Department for forest ecosystems, initiated a one day educational program entitled “Meet your National park and be a ranger for a day” for 8th grade students from local elementary schools (Rakovica, Korenica and Mukinje) on the 14th of May 2014. Through the walk with students, employees of the NP (biochemist, biologists, geologist and forest technician) presented nature values of NP and demonstrated monitoring methods for water and forest ecosystems (how to measure lake depth, basic parameters in lake or how to take a water samples and how to measure a height of tree). Our goal was to expand student knowledge about nature values and nature protection in their own surroundings. This educational program also offered some useful information about things that our nature conservationists do and even bring students closer to choosing their possible interests in future.
